Menopause and perimenopause can have a significant impact on mental health due to hormonal fluctuations, particularly the decline in oestrogen and progesterone. These hormones play a role in regulating mood, anxiety, and cognitive function. As oestrogen levels decrease, many women experience changes in emotional well-being, memory, and overall mental health. The physical symptoms of menopause, such as sleep disturbances and hot flashes, can also contribute to mental health challenges by increasing stress and disrupting daily life.
Mental Health
Managing mental health changes during menopause may involve regular exercise, stress-reduction techniques, healthy eating, and practicing mindfulness.
